Very helpful thread I had the same question
Mostly the preference applies to the formatting of News prior to sending.
Calibre detects the device and uses the device driver for that device (series).
As long as the the device doesn't use the SAME driver (Preferences: Plugins: Output drivers ) AND the 2 devices don't have conflicting settings, you are good.

In your case, they are 2 different drivers, so no conflicting driver settings

Set the device(welcome Wizard) to the device you send News to.
